Are you talking about the slackware distribution or the slackware-live cd, which is based on the slackware distribution and lets you run linux directly from cdrom without a hdd.which one are you talking about?

I provided a copy of slackware-live latest version to pluc karachi, a few days back:

slackware is a real neat choice. slack ppl are security paranoid. what do u ppl think about freebsd. the license is restrictive than that of linux but as i have seen it, its the license thats holding freebsd back a bit. otherwise its a real fine OS and i see a lot of sites running on it these days. actually the longest uptime often reported by netcraft is on freebsd installations. is any isp in pakistan using slackware.

WARNING: If you want to learn linux and really want to have a dive in the knowledge sea, MANDRAKE IS A DEFINITE NO NO!! (with apologies to mandrake fans and plz i am not attempting to start a war. once again apologies)
